1) run your anti virus and spyware etc
2)Do a disk clean up
3)check of your comp requires a disk defragmentation.if so do it.
4)delete all the unnecessary programms that you dont use.
5)check which programes are present during start up.. go to widows-run-msconfig--last tab startup. and uncheck the unnecessary programs.
6)check which programs are running in the background. open the command window and type services.msc and then right click on the one which you dont want to run in the background and opt for manual rather than automatic.
CAUTION:before going ahead with steps 5 and 6 dont forget to carefully get rid of programs .If you dont know the process of any program then google it and find out what thats for and then follow the steps.
goodluck.!

First of all, have you defragmented the hard drive lately? If that doesn't help, you might try adding more memory. I have an emachine and I doubled mine and it was only about 5 months old at the time and that was helpful. Another thing, if you have photos or do a lot of downloading that takes up memory. If you don't have the extra money to buy the memory, you could go to Control Panel, click on removing software and eliminate some programs that you don't use anymore.

Using a registry cleaner can fix your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some regsitry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".
Everytime you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you've installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it's Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Regisry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!It even can speed up your computer by 300% or more!

When was the last time that you deleted, history, temporary internet files and cookies? Open Internet Explorer (IE) and click on "Tools" near the top right! Then click on "Internet Options" selection near or on the bottom. On the "General" tab, you can delete these things! Close IE! When you are ready you may open a browser and hopefully it will be faster now.

defrag it, scan for virus's, cut down on the amount of programs that start up when you load windows aka boot up your computer.

You have anti virus and anti-spyware? If not, I'd suggest you look into that as well as the above suggestions.
